In 1994 the disappearance of 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay rocked his Texan town to its core. Without any clue to his whereabouts, the ensuing search looked like a lost cause. But his family kept hoping and praying and, more three years later, they got their miracle. Nicholas was found halfway around the world, living on the streets in Spain, leading to the most unlikely and emotional of reunions. But all was not as it seemed. Nicholas looked and sounded decidedly different. Stranger still – why did his family seemingly not notice these glaring inconsistencies? It is only when an investigator starts asking questions that this astounding true story takes an even more extraordinary turn. With its jaw-dropping twists and revelations more reminiscent of film noir than documentary, The Imposter rivals 2010's Catfish for pure unscripted thrills, while evoking classic identity thrillers such as The Talented Mr Ripley.

Mother cats teach their kittens to inhibit biting, so kittens removed from mom at a young age may nip more. Encourage acceptable behavior by offering toys to pounce on instead.read more
This ankle-nipping problem is probably familiar to many kitten owners, including me. Kittens begin life playing with their mother and siblings, and it is during that time that they learn how to play nice. If a kitten is separated from its mother too early, it doesn't learn this valuable skill and can act out later, even into adulthood.
According to The Humane Society of the United States, you can discourage ankle-nipping and other overly aggressive kitten behavior by doing the following:
Mau-Mau's Mom says: Mau-Mau was a stray that appeared at our terrace door 3 years ago. She was fully grown but was constantly nipping at our ankles and climbing up our legs! Ouch!! Our solution was to go to our local shelter and purchase her a little "buddy" to play with. Poor Moro is now the object of her attention but has learned to give as good as he gets. She still loves to play chase with us throughout the house and stuns us with her Ninja moves (flying dragon, crouching tiger) but the nipping and climbing has stopped.
Bormama says: She looks like she would be a good house cat she has pretty magrknis for it next she'll be laying on your pillows on your bed.Kris

Yet, far from being a fountain of youth, prescription drugs - especially in combination - may well be hastening the problems of old age: physical frailty, loss of vital-organ function and even mental decline.
The tendency of doctors to dole out multiple drugs to the elderly is worrying because this population group is getting larger by the day. Today, 13 per cent of the US population is over 65, a figure set to rise dramatically in the coming years. Yet, seniors consume, on average, 30 per cent of all prescription drugs (Health Prom Dis Prev, 1992; 8: 127-41). In the UK, the over-65s account for 18 per cent of the population, but nearly half of all prescription drug use (Pharm J, 1997; 259: 686-8).
And these figures are conservative as drug use among the elderly is believed to be grossly underreported.
Doling out drugs
The problem lies in the way doctors approach healthcare in the elderly, and their sketchy knowledge of which drugs are both effective and appropriate for this age group. A recent large-scale study of more than 765,000 seniors showed that more than one-fifth of their prescriptions were inappropriate for their age group (Arch Intern Med, 2004; 164: 1621-5). Ten years ago, a widely publicised report revealed that nearly a quarter of elderly Americans were being prescribed one or more medications that were countraindicated for this patient population (JAMA, 1994, 272: 292-317).
But the most dangerous practice of all - practised all over the world - is polypharmacy, where several different drugs are prescribed at once without sufficient understanding of how these drugs react in combination.
Most older Americans, for example, take an average of three to five drugs (J Am Geriatr Soc, 2001; 49: 277-83), and that doesn't include over-the-counter medications or herbals. In Canada, 91 per cent of older patients are taking one or more drugs (prescribed or over the counter) - the average per patient was more than four apiece (Ann Emerg Med, 2001; 38: 666-71). In the UK, at least a third of patients over 75 are taking four or more prescription drugs (BMJ, 2004; 329: 434). An Australian survey of more than 200,000 veterans found that:
* more than half were taking more than five separate drugs
* one-fifth were taking more than 10 drugs
* around one in 14 was taking more than 15 drugs
* one in 30 was taking 20 drugs (Aust NZ J Public Health, 1997; 21: 469-76).
While this kind of reckless prescribing used to be confined to nursing homes, it's now a risk faced by anyone over the age of 50. Besides ignoring the inherent dangers of interactions between drugs, doctors increasingly prescribe drugs 'off label' - that is, for conditions and at dosages different from those approved, a well-known major cause of adverse drug reactions.
As the number of drugs taken increases, the risk of adverse effects increases exponentially. Compared with taking only one drug, the risk of ill effects when taking five increases by a further 4 per cent. But if 16 drugs are taken, the added risk skyrockets to 54 per cent (Clin Geriatr Med, 1990; 6: 293-307).

Happy Halloween 2011
Happy Halloween everyone!
Though reports of ice and snow storms are top stories for haunters on the east coast, Toronto is all blue skies and sunshine.
I hope those shivering without power are safe and still finding ways to enjoy the day despite terrible conditions.
As for me, I finally had a moment to carve this year's pumpkin. Decided to do something different from my usual styles and I think this mouse house is pretty cute (real mice need not apply).
Not sure what the plan is for the day. It's lunchtime and I have yet to get out of my pajamas (which has made this whole day so far feel a bit like Christmas morning for me, and isn't that a nice thing?).
The book I ordered for October reading at the start of the month arrived today. So much for leisurely reading this last month, slowly getting into the spirit of the holiday. But I'm still pleased to have it. Now I can thumb my way through some Poe, Lovecraft, Straub, Sir Walter Scott, Bradbury and a load of other authors perfectly designed for Halloween reading.
Enjoy the holiday. Keep creepin'.
Love your jack! It's been a
Love your jack! It's been a lazy kind of day here too. I like a relaxed Halloween.

Have a great day GF! Glad to

Happy Halloween to you!
As always, thanks for being such a consistent and inspiring champion of Halloween. Your efforts here always help drive the magic of the season up to the very last moment and ease the long wait until the next season arrives.
I hope today passed with all the wonder and excitement that you wish for and that your posts throughout the day helped those who were forced to cancel their plans find some spooky thrills! Cheers!
We, too, dodged the snow and power outages . . .
. . . and even the rain stopped in time for Halloween. It was a wonderful night. Enjoy your belated Halloween reading. Love the mouse house! :)

Home…POW granted battlefield wish
On a blistering day during the summer of 1945, Dora Connelly received an unexpected phone call.
At the time, she was living with her parents and toddler daughter in the hills surrounding Snell Canyon south of Brady.
The caller was her husband Albert Connelly whom she hadn't seen or heard from for nine months.
Albert left the States in October of 1944 to fight in World War II with the 81st Combat Engineers.
* * * * *
The couple, who grew up near each other southwest of Brady, had eloped two years before and married in Oberlin, KS.
Dora was 16 and Albert 23,
"I'd known him forever," she said, the late-afternoon sun streaming through the window of her room at Hilltop Estates Care Center.
Albert was working for Richardson Oil Company in North Platte and on a ranch when he was drafted into the Army in October 1942 and sent to Camp Campbell in Kentucky for basic training.
From there and other places he was sent stateside, he and Dora tried to write each other letters every night.
In May of 1943, the Connelly's first daughter Geraldine was born.
"I wasn't there, I only got furlough once but I was pretty proud to have a girl," he said.
Once they learned Albert would be sent overseas, Dora said she was upset.
"I had no idea where he was going or how long he would be gone," she said.
The letters stopped once Albert landed in England and traveled to France and Germany where he fought in the famous Battle of the Bulge.
"There was enough action there, I didn't have time," Albert said.
In the meantime, Dora and Geraldine left North Platte and moved into Dora's childhood home with her parents.
Sometime later, she received a telegram that her husband was missing in action.
"His mother cried because she thought he was dead," Dora said. "I didn't cry because I thought I would see him again.
"We argued about that quite a bit."
* * * * *
After trying to defend an important crossroads near St. Vith, Luxembourg, the commander of Albert's unit ordered his men to disband and try to make their way back to Allied troops.
Albert and a handful of other soldiers were captured by the Nazis near the front line.
They and other prisoners were marched across Germany where they encountered blizzards, freezing temperatures and much snow. Many died along the way.
As the Allies moved into Poland, Albert was taken to a German prisoner-of-war-camp in March.
Dora received word that Albert was a POW after he was registered at Stalag Luft I in Barth, Germany.
During Albert's absence, Dora often volunteered at the Canteen in North Platte.
"There was everything to be done," she said. "I made sandwiches, coffee and always took cookies and cake. It was always some soldier's birthday."
Six million servicemen and women on troop trains were met by canteen volunteers in North Platte during the war who gave them homemade goods.
* * * * *
American troops reached Stalag Luft I in May, a few weeks after the camp was liberated by the Russians.
Albert was flown to Camp Lucky Strike in Le Havre, France, where he and other famished prisoners "were fattened up just like a group of pigs turned loose on a corn pile."
During the war and captivity, Albert estimated he lost about 70 pounds.
"But I wasn't skinny very long," he said. "They just poured egg nog down us."
"Like a bunch of fat rats," Dora said.
From France, Albert and other soldiers flew to Boston and on to Leavenworth, KS, for physicals and other processing.
Albert then boarded a train for home.
"As we traveled through the countryside and rolled past cornfields, I felt like was home," he said. "It was a pretty good feeling."
No one met him at the station because no one knew he was coming home.
Albert remembers going to his aunt and uncle's house in Brady.
"They were both surprised because

The method I'm currently using works just dandy but requires an upper bound of roughly 100-1000 elements in the series calculation to be approximately within 10 decimal places of accuracy. The question I have is would altering/changing the expression used for a converging series (i.e. rather than 2^k, say 10^k ?) give a "quicker" way of approaching the same output value but in shorter iterations and how?
The code in question:
def logN(val, base): #logarithm of base 'N' list_series = [] inc, integer, partial_sum = 0, 0, 0 bound = 1000 val = float(val) while val >= base: integer += 1 val /= base partial = val while inc < bound: partial *= partial if partial >= base: list_series.append(1) partial /= base elif partial < base: list_series.append(0) inc += 1 for var in range(len(list_series)): expr = ((list_series[var])/2.0)**(var+1) partial_sum = expr + partial_sum log_val = integer + partial_sum return log_val

Priscilla was nowhere near a lake when she awakened. She was on the top of a mountain.
And neither was the destroyer.

15 minutes into Insidious I still have no idea who is who.
Oh, uh and....for a Claymore related sentence how about, the awakened Cassandra chases Raki through the org and he intentionally leads her right into the main room where the Mibs are hiding and shouts "bitches and swords" just before Cassandra crashes through the wall.

Nice to see he didn't last long this time around....and for the record people, I didn't 'beg' for his return nor even say a word about him for ages now, since he hasn't shown up in weeks.
With the chapter about to be released, their are more important things anyway.
As me and Nixl discussed, Prissy's conservative way of being may also explain why we've never seen huge scales of 'blasts' coming from her - she just hasn't been pushed hard enough to release what we would expect from her power.

I think we know you did not beg for it Shieky. I might of since I am totally jealous that you have a dedicated troll and I do not. What is better than knowing that someone out there is using their precious time to try to unsuccessfully troll rather than spend time with their friends, family, or girlfriend.

Anyways as to wind gusts/blasts being created by yoki. I think it involves two factors:
Simply put the amount of yoki determines maximum total amount of force possible (though limited how much leaks out of the body). While the speed of it's release determines how much of there yoki leaks out of there bodies to effect the surrounding world. That total magnitude of yoki leaking out of the body and the velocity of its release determines the effect on the surrounding world. Be it virtually no effect, minor air ripples, kicking up dust, to blasts varying is size all the way up to what we witnessed the Destroyer unleash (though who's to say that's the upper limit of the blasts).
Of course to further complicate matters is the fact that now we know that simply being awakened doesn't mean all there yoki is being used, as evidenced by both Dauf and Priscilla holding back on occasion. So in the case of Priscilla her body can likely release a ton more yoki without any leaking out, however given enough of it being released and fast enough I'm sure she could potentially release a massive burst of yoki at least some where on the level of The Destroyer. However the question arises how much can her body hide/absorb before it affects the surrounding world since she was gifted at hiding her presence and maybe the side effect of that ability on her AB form is smaller concussive blasts but more yoki in her body (maybe that's what heals her so quickly even though she is offensive... random speculation)
As to Cassandra killing Audrey with her awakening I suspect she won't but sadly I'll see that more of a sign of her power level being weaker than it was guessed to be and that she was rated that high due to her technique. I'm not saying she isn't worthy of being a number 1 but I suspect technique alone is what made the org rate her as one of the top 8 number 1s... I realize this isn't the only way to see this matter but it's my take on the situation any how. She's a nice girl and all but what Renee said about massive yoki being able to destroy even her (and an awakened #3) just makes me think a helpless woman with no yoki left would be killed when standing under an awakened number 1 and if she doesn't die via the force of the awakening either Cassandra is weaker than previously implied, Audrey was no longer under her, or Cassandra is about to have an atypical awakening and of the three the first is the most logical outcome based on the last pages of last chapter.
EDIT:Yes, welcome White Silver King Funny avatar for that username though
EDIT2 (well, a footnote really): The reason why I listed the amount of yoki that leaks out of there bodies separately is it could be effected by anything and could vary based on the individual (for example user A could release more yoki externally when at the same percentage as user b)... it could be anything from an emotional state, to effected to the body type of the warrior/ab, be effected by training, the speed of release, maybe even there focus, or several factors. For simplicity sake I attached it as a foot not to the amount of power being released. I could explain each factor more clearly (if anyone wants) but for an example the speed of it's release is really about ones ability to control there yoki when releasing it quickly, aka maybe more yoki escapes when releasing large quantities of yoki quickly but that doesn't mean it does or if it does that the amount released externally is universal to all Claymores releasing that same amount of yoki at that same speed who all have the same relative power level.

I'd still prefer a single page of Claire and Prissy than seeing the 3 new awakened abyssals,lol.
....but since i know my wish won't be granted even this time,i admit that i'm REALLY excited to see some new monsters!!!
I hope the new abyssals' desaigns will be cool and original,maybe inspired by some animal so to give credit to the speculation that says that animals are involved in the "claymorization" process.

Johnny Zoo
Johnny Zoo (born November 17, 1969 in Tokyo, Japan) is the leader of the Yakuza in Anywhere City and appears in the game Grand Theft Auto 2. He has an extensive criminal record in Japan, although the Anywhere City Police Department are unable to obtain. In 1995 he was arrested on suspicion of multiple murder in a noodle bar. He was arrested again 1996 for possession of illegal firearms and was sentenced to six months in jail. He was arrested in 1997 for the Hello Sushi Bar Massacre but was bailed for $2 million. In 1998 he was alleged to have connections to a huge cocaine and amphetamine smuggling operation, as well as arms theft and dealing. He may be related to Danny Zoo (another Yakuza member), dates Hana Funabashi, and has a tattoo of a polar bear on his back. He is also known by the name "Johnny Ice".
Zoo is the first employer of Claude Speed and is a big car collector. The Yakuza are feuding with The Zaibatsu Corporation and Zoo employs Claude to help destroy the Zaibatsu. Meanwhile, Zoo has more problems because the Loonies refuse to pay off their debts to the Yakuza, so Zoo sends Claude to blow up their "Happy" gas tanks. Zoo then has Claude rescue two high ranking Yakuza officials from the Zaibatsu. Later in the storyline, the police impounds Zoo's car, so he has Claude retrieve it. The Military are very angry that Zoo has recovered his car, so they send the army to destroy his car collection. but with the help of Claude, Zoo sucessfully fends them off. Eventually, Claude under the orders of the Loonies and the Zaibatsu corportaion, helps destroy the Yakuza. Zoo, along with Elmo and Trey Welsh, went after Speed but ended up getting killed in the process.

Can you explain what pairing between each channel of dual amplifier ?
Latest Updated:03/01/2006
I'm thinking to use a dual operational amplifier. Can you explain what the pairing between each channel (described in the electrical specifications) is?
As a rule, the pairing described in the electrical specifications of a dual operational amplifier is affected by input offset (V and I). Input offset occurs when there is variation in the elements in the input operation stage. The input offset voltage variation is described in the data sheet's electrical specifications.

One of only five surviving light towers in Georgia, the restored lighthouse on St. Simons Island, with its original 3rd order Fresnel lens shining 23 miles out to sea, remains a navigational aid for traffic entering the St. Simons Sound. Unlike many other operational lights, visitors are welcome to climb the 129 steps to the top. Although no keeper awaits you, the vast panorama of the Golden Isles does. The museum, now housed in the Keeper's Quarters, features exhibits on the history of the Lighthouses and the Golden Isles. The second floor apartment has been restored to a keeper's home between 1872 and 1900. In addition, visitors can enjoy a video and museum store on the site.

Heavy leather and great liner
She loves this coat tryed many on and this one was the only one that fit her right
love this jacket perfect fit and made of really good leather
it was my frist MC jacket and thank god i read the comments for other who this jacket too. you need to get one size bigger that what you so you can move around better and you are not so tie up in it.
Perfect...everyone else likes it too
Love this jacket! Great craftsmanship.
Excellent excellent excellent jacket. This thing is sleak and stylish. I originally bought a 4x and it was a little snug, traded it in for a 5x and it fits much better. Didn't know about the lining on the inside that can be removed, once I removed that I had all sorts of room. I am very pleased with this jacket!
Just received my reflective skulls jacket I have to say I'm quite impressed. It fits perfectly I usually wear a 3xl But I ordered a 4xl it fits me perfectly I'm 6"1 and 280 lbs I think the quality is great I couldn't be more happier
Quality is very good, size wise i should have ordered 1 size bigger. I ordered a 2XL and should've ordered a 3XL. Cant beat the price!!
AWESOME Jacket! I did not find it to be sized any different than other leather jackets. I usually wear an XL in shirts etc and a XXL in jackets. Looks and Quality are superb. Best purchase yet :)
This is the best jacket i have ever had. looks outstanding and well made. The only problem is they come a bit small, so you need to order a size up when you order. The one i received was too small for me, But i liked it so much that i did not send it back. instead i gave it to my son and ordered me a new one in a larger size.
Jacket come a little undersized, example, if you wear a XL, order a XXL itfits much better, all around totally satisfied with durability and construction, very comfortable.
The jacket is nice. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I am a short man and it would be nice if the jackets accommodated men of my statue.
cool looking jacket ,very happy with it can not beat price, shipping was fast.
The jacket is very nice.I ordered size xxx,It was too small.Returned for size 5x, this fits good. The jacket is made small,this is the only time i've needed a size 5x.So order it big. Kirby in Indy
outstanding service from J&P, the jacket is outstanding quality and looks and feels grate!
very nice jacket good quality really like the zip out lining has plenty of pockets and is good and warm.
Amazing jacket love the reflective skulls that run all the way around the coat. Heavy duty and we'll made item. The only thing with this jacket is the sizing, it's runs small. I wear an XL and the coat is a 3X

Many people think that only joints are affected by inflammation. The truth is the body's natural inflammatory response affects everyone and every major organ system, and plays a crucial role in the aging process.
Given the link between a healthy inflammation response and whole body health – a source of extensive and ongoing research – a supplement strategy geared to promoting a healthy inflammation response is as fundamental as a daily multivitamin.*
Hence the benefits of the highly-researched bioactive herbal extracts in Zyflamend®.
Multiple Synergistic Components,
Whole Body Benefits
Health experts agree that a daily multivitamin containing the full spectrum of required vitamins and minerals provides an important "insurance policy" against nutrient deficiencies and the metabolic imbalances associated with them.
And extensive research conducted within the last two decades has indicated that phytochemicals present in herbs and spices can safely and effectively promote a healthy inflammation response.*
So combining an herbal protocol with a multivitamin offers the optimal broad-spectrum approach to nutritional and natural inflammation support.*
Research at leading medical institutions, including human clinical trials, has demonstrated this unique herbal formulation's ability to promote a safe, natural and healthy response to inflammation.*
Zyflamend contains combinations of herbs used traditionally to promote a healthy inflammation response.*
These 10 herbs – most of which have been part of human diets for thousands of years – contain hundreds of bioactive constituents and are uniquely extracted to deliver the full spectrum of naturally occurring inflammation support. They are:
Holy Basil:
(Ocimum sanctum) Contains ursolic acid, which significantly enhances detoxification and helps support the inflammation response.*
Unique curcumin phytonutrient complex, naturally works synergistically with green tea, significantly multiplying the healthy response to inflammation supported by green tea polyphenols.*
Supercritical extract offers numerous anti-aging constituents.*
Green Tea:
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report green tea polyphenols contains 51 phytonutrients that support a healthy inflammatory response.*
Dual extracts offer highly concentrated, full spectrum detoxification.*
Hu Zhang:
(Polygonum cuspidatum) Richest known resveratrol source, shown scientifically to support a healthy inflammation response.*
Chinese Goldthread and Barberry:
Unique berberine phytonutrient complex, naturally supports the inflammation response system.*
Source of large number of compounds (31) that promote a healthy inflammatory response, according to USDA database.*
Unique baicalin phytonutrient complex, naturally supports healthy inflammatory responses.*
Zyflamend for Healthy Aging
"It has been said that the day that one stops fighting inflammation is the day that you start accelerating the aging process."
Aging is not the simple result of the passage of time. According to a provocative new view, it is actually something our own bodies create, a side effect of the essential inflammatory system.
While there is no "cure" for the natural process of aging, the conscious and active control of low-level "silent" inflammation is now believed to have the potential to slow down the natural aging process.
Because inflammation is a multi-faceted human process, it is important that we respond to it through a combination of daily "down-regulating" actions… utilizing aspects of our daily diet, regular exercise, and natural bioactives shown to contain inflammation sensitive properties.
Zyflamend for Joint Health
Modulation of the inflammatory process is an important and useful strategy for maintaining healthy joint function.*
A healthy inflammatory response may also contribute to a control of adverse bone changes that can cause discomfort and compromise the integrity of the joint.
When the inflammatory response is out of balance, joint health may be complicated, in most cases, with bone and soft tissue breakdown of the joint.
Glucosamine is used by the body to form and repair cartilage that cushions and protects the body's joints. A comprehensive approach to joint health demands the presence of building blocks for new cartilage (glucosamine) plus a healthy inflammation response.*
Zyflamend for Heart Health
Recent research suggests that the key factor in predicting heart health is gauging the amount of inflammation in the arteries. C-reactive protein is a blood marker used to assess inflammation and heart health.
Early data from a human clinical trial conducted at Columbia University suggests that daily supplementation with Zyflamend promotes healthy levels of C-reactive protein.
In data presented at the 2008 meeting for the Society for Integrative Oncology, researchers reported the following analysis of data from a Zyflamend human clinical trial: "A statistically significant reduction in serum C-reactive protein was…observed after 18 months."
Maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system is strongly linked to a healthy inflammation response – Zyflamend is the first choice for promoting heart health.*
Part of a Comprehensive Bone Health Protocol
Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation exerts a significant effect on bone metabolism by stimulating production of RANKL (Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand), a molecule which activates osteoclasts, the cells responsible for the breakdown of bone.
An ideal bone health protocol would pair the necessary building blocks for bone remodeling – bioavailable whole-food calcium, magnesium, trace minerals, vitamins D3 and K2 (MK-7) – with a formula that promotes a healthy and natural inflammation response.*
Accordingly, Zyflamend, the herbal multi, coupled with Bone Strength Take Care®, a whole food source of these key bone building nutrients, provides a comprehensive approach to total bone health.
Zyflamend: Extensively Researched, Compelling Results
In summary, New Chapter's unique patented herbal formula, Zyflamend, represents a scientific breakthrough in the maintenance of a healthy inflammation response.* Recent research studies suggest that daily Zyflamend supplementation may be an effective strategy to modulate inflammation and promote healthy joint and prostate function, normal cell growth, and healthy heart function.*
And Zyflamend continues to be the subject of ongoing research at preeminent research centers in the United States.

How much do I love our show??? THIS MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
agt_spooky said it best in her post earlier today: what a milestone this episode was! I never really gave much thought to a show making it to 100 episodes. Many of my favorites (Buffy, X-files) did without me taking much notice while others (Firefly) missed the mark by a country mile and I felt the loss.
But this show, these characters, this story has gripped me harder than I could have foreseen when those opening words: Lawrence, KS 22 Years Ago appeared on my screen. Much has changed in five years, and yet here we are, the whole, crazy lot of us. *grins at fandom*
I've stayed spoiler-free for this season—no easy feat, let me tell you—allowing myself only the previews tacked at the end of each episode to help me build anticipation. But they way they've crafted this season, anticipation took very little effort. I, like you all, have been twisted up with character-related heartache and have experienced more than one sleepless night thinking of the cadence of this plot.
*tries to collect thoughts*
I've written a lot of these rambles since I started posting them by episode in Season 3, and I think this one takes the cake for emotional mayhem. You ready?
Okay, I said I wouldn't make a habit of this—and I won't! I promise!—but I've added the song Innocent by Fuel to my writing playlist and I could not get these lyrics out of my head when watching both of our boys tonight.
Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasures overrated
Never armed our souls
What the future would hold
When we were innocent
Angels, lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get just one right
All those colors long since faded
All our smiles are confiscated
Never were we told
We'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent
This prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line and still ain't got it right
And while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplated
Never did we know
What the future would hold
Or that we'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent, innocent
When we were innocent
The opening scene with poor, downsized Zach was humorously disturbing. First? I laughed out loud when the angel introduced himself as "Zach" to the other forlorn drinker at the bar. Heh. His whining about losing the deal of the millennium had me smirking…until his "boss" showed up with all of his angel might—since I'm pretty sure his boss is Michael and not God—blasting out the windows and setting fire to the eyes of the other bar patrons.
Naughty angel.
Zach implores him to "put me back in, you won't regret it," gets some instructions and after plucking a piece of glass from his whiskey tumbler, finishes his drink, exiting the bar with a little bounce in his step singing "Saints Go Marching In."
*wants to poke him in eye*
Then we fade to Dean in a motel room—and you know you've watched too closely when every motel room looks the same…right up to that iron lattice work dealy-bob that is just inside the entrance—packing a box and sipping whiskey. Okay, well, so maybe he's not so much sipping as POURING IT DOWN HIS GULLET.
Still, it takes a lot to say goodbye. To everything. And everyone. The last time he gave his life for someone—Sam—he fought to hang on to it right up to the very last second. He didn't really even get to say goodbye to Sam, except for a threat to haunt him if he messed up the Impala. This time, he doesn't get to say goodbye either because he knows they'll stop him, even if he feels in his bones that what he's doing is not only right, it's the only way.
So, he has to box up the meager things that make his life his own: the leather jacket, the keys to the Impala, his
Desert Eagle Colt 1911. He writes a letter (and, seriously, raise your hand if you're dying to know what that letter said…yeah, me too) puts it all in the box and tapes it up, writing Bobby's name on the top.
Sam shows up—out of nowhere. He's just…there. The look on Dean's face is satisfyingly shocked. Not just surprised, downright shocked. Sam makes some crack about a candy gram that I didn't get, but then Dean demands to know how he found him.
Sam: "You're gonna kill yourself, right? Not too hard to figure out the stops on the farewell tour. How's Lisa doing, by the way?"
No one knows you like family. Even when you don't want them to. Earlier this week I got a call from one of my sisters, asking if I'd read the book The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. I had—for book club—but told her I didn't really recommend it. She wanted to know why and I shrugged it off by saying, "Oh, it's just not really well written. Kinda dull, actually."
"You're such a bad liar," she replied. "You didn't like the book because it was pretty much our lives."
Heh. Busted. That had been why she'd called—to commiserate with the only other person in her life that would get it. And here I thought I was being so clever. Family can be a minefield, man. And sometimes you almost want to step on a mine.
The look on Dean's face as he stands in front of that mirror, holding the whiskey and looking at Sam, is of a man who has given in and is warring with himself with each breath that giving in is not the same as giving up. It's practically radiating from him, an unspoken, weak declaration that this doesn't make him a bad person. That he's doing the right thing.
Dean: "I'm not gonna kill myself."
Sam pretty much calls bullshit and says, "This is how it ends? You just walk out? How could you do that??"
Dean rears back at that, some of the fight returning to his eyes. "How could I? All you've ever done is run away."
Sam: "And I was wrong. Every time I did."
UGH. It's such a tangle to be in, this moment. Because Dean had to live through Sam learning that life lesson. It's so much harder to be the one left behind then it is to leave. Sam may now look back on all of those moments, realize his mistake, see that Dean stayed—every time he stayed—and admire him for that. But Dean's carrying the wounds from Sam's departure and he's done with it. Sam saying "how could you do this" stung a bit, I think, because when you're left behind…you don't get to say that to anyone.
Sam tells Dean that Bobby's working on something, but Dean doesn't buy it. They've got nothing, and they both know it. Sam kinds sags into himself and says Dean knows he has to stop him. Dean squares up, going immediately on the defensive with a, "You can try, but you're not hopped up on demon blood this time."
Sam: "I know. But I brought help."
Hello Cas. Shazam! Annnnd…they're at Bobby's. Books everywhere. Sam and Bobby searching for…who knows what. Dean's pacing and ranting with frustrated sarcasm dripping from every word. Cas is standing back and watching the whole thing as only Cas can do.
Bobby wants to know what happened to Dean.
Dean: "Reality. Michael can ice Lucifer and save a boatload of people."
Bobby: "But not everyone." Meaning you Dean, ya idjit.
Dean: "If Lucifer burns this mother down and I could have done something, that's on me."
OH, the weight. Seriously—to carry the weight of all the lives he couldn't save, all the lives he wants to save… it makes me hurt thinking about it. And it's not just since this whole destiny crap came up. It's been since the start. Since the very first episode. You saw it in the lines of his face when he shoved (a totally baby-faced) Sam up against the girders of the bridge demanding he not speak of their mother that way.
Bobby: "You can't give up, Son."
Dean, lips bouncing up in a snarl and an angry light in his eyes, replies, "You're not my father. And you ain't in my shoes."
Sam gives him the seriously?? head tilt, and I have to say, that was mean. Considering Dean, himself, has said repeatedly that Bobby was like a father to him—because he desperately needed him to be so. But he meant for it to be mean. Because he's feeling mean. That's what you do when you're angry and hurting. You lash out and you make others—especially and specifically those closest to you—feel bad with you. Lord knows my poor husband has been the victim of such a thing. And it's because of that father-like bond that Dean reacted the way he did to Bobby's plea.
I know I told you that you're like a father to me, but I only meant it when I needed guidance, support, or someone to tell me I'm doing a good job, not when I need someone to jerk a knot in my tail or spin me back around. What do you mean I can't have it both ways? Damn…you really are like my father.
Bobby shocks the room by pulling out a pistol and a bullet, setting both on the table. The boys might've been surprised, but I gotta say, I wasn't. He says that it's the round he means to put through his skull. He thinks about it every morning, but then he doesn't do it because he promised Dean he wouldn't give up.
OUCH. Dean swallows, absorbing Bobby's reality and his reminder in a breath. I have a friend that reminds me a bit of Bobby. Fights the good fight every day because that's all she's ever known to do. But I know she pretty much has to decide every morning to keep going. Her honesty is both a humbling gift of friendship and a weight that I don't always know how to carry. I rarely have the right words. Maybe I need to make her promise me not to give up.
Before anyone can do much in reaction to Bobby's declaration, Cas grabs his head in pain, says something is happening, and is gone. The three hunters are left to stare at each other.
Cas is in the woods…somewhere…and the trees are all blasted down like they'd been around Dean's resurrected grave site. In the center, the mud and leaves pulsate as if the Earth is…breathing. Before Cas can dig deeper, he's jumped by another angel. Who looks like a cross between one of the Men In Black and The Geek Squad. The Angels in Black Squad? Cas goes all ninja warrior on them and 'stakes' two angel henchmen with those silvery sword thingies. Nicely done! He goes back to the spot and a dirty hand pokes through. Tilting his head in that dog-like curious glance, he reaches down and pulls out a body.
I had my suspicions in that moment, but literally forced myself to chill out and just watch to see what happened.
Back at Bobby's, Sam's giving Dean the whole Intervention treatment, blocking the fridge, etc., when Cas shows up with the body over his shoulder and barks, "Help!"
Bobby calls out, "Boys!" and the brothers hurry in. Aside: I love it when Bobby refers to them as 'boys.' Don't ask me why. I couldn't begin to explain it. The boys stare in shock at the body on the bed. It's Adam.
Dean: "What the hell?"
Gaelic: DAMMIT!
I didn't really like the idea of bringing Adam back. I mean one—they cremated the guy. Two—his character always seemed shoe-horned into an already complicated family lineage and storyline. And I didn't like what his existence did to my picture of John and his already tumultuous relationship with his and Mary's sons. But…I got over myself and watched.
Cas says that angels brought him back and that he needs to be hidden, so he does that whole Enochian branding thing. Okay, so…angels brought Adam back…and Cas was given a heads up…yet he's cut off from Heaven…which is where Michael's hanging out giving orders…so either he caught a stray angel-wave…or someone warned him. Someone powerful enough to speak to Cas and not in Heaven. *smiles*
Adam wakes up, understandably confused at first. I had just wondered aloud if he'd know anything about the boys—since the real Adam had been dead long before they met GoulAdam—when he says that he does know who they are because the angels warned him about them. *writers side-stepped that one* Then, in a very Dean-like voice, demands to know where Zach is.
Come to think of it…Adam's kinda dressed like Dean: black T-shirt, olive-green/gray long-sleeved shirt. Looked good on him. Maybe they dressed the body in Dean's clothes before burning it? Or maybe…Adam just takes after Dean. *ponders* They let him get cleaned up a little, give him a drink, and then Dean wants to know the story, from the beginning.
Aside: I like how Dean's sitting on that chair—straddling the seat, leaning on the back. Oh, shut up. *smirk*
Adam says that he was dead, in Heaven (so…he gets to remember??), except that it looked like his Prom and he was with Christie McGee. Dean, true to form, smirks and asks Adam if he got to 3rd base. Heh. Sam primly clears his throat and Dean's all, "What?!"
Tiger don't change his stripes. *grin*
Aside: What the hell is up with Sam's hair?? Is he going for the MacGyver look? It's getting freakin' LONG. Sorry, sorry. I'm done.
Adam tells them that the angels informed him that he was chosen to save the world. He and Michael are going to kill the devil because he's the sword or vessel or something. Dean calls bullshit, but Cas is all, "Fascinating."
Cas: "He's John Winchester's bloodline, Sam's brother…"
Hmmm…which, if that had been true, that would mean John = angels, Mary = demons. Interesting.
Dean: "You gotta be kidding me."
Sam: "Why would they do this?"
Cas: "Maybe they're desperate. Maybe they wrongly assumed Dean would be brave enough to withstand them."
Wait, what? Cas, honey, that doesn't even make sense. If they had assumed Dean would be brave enough to withstand them, they wouldn't have started on this path in the first place. You're showing your hand, my angel friend. Dean rolls his eyes and tells Cas to blow him. Heh.
Meanwhile, Sam is having a conniption fit. "After all that crap about destiny, suddenly the angels have a Plan B??"
Atta boy, Sammy. You just keep asking questions. It's what you're best at. Adam, however, is rather bored with the pondering and musing going on around him and is all, "this has been fun, ya'll, but I got a thing, so…"
Gotta say, at this point? I kinda liked GoulAdam better. It really took me a bit to see things from Adam's perspective. Sam gets Adam to wait, to listen. Bobby is watching Adam closely, but I can't tell what he's thinking. Sam tries to tell Adam that the angels are lying and Adam, understandably, is all, "whatever, they're angels," which of course = truth. You'd think. Sam tries to go with the "there's another way" theory that he's been unsuccessfully pitching to Dean.
Dean doesn't help by slipping in a sarcastic, "We're working on the power of love…"
*rolls eyes* Not. Helping. Dude. Although, the quick back-and-forth between Adam and Dean in that moment showed another way those two brothers were similar. Very similar, in fact. Sam asks for more time and Adam wants one good reason he should.
S: "Because we're blood."
Dean looks doubtful, watching Adam from the tops of his eyes.
A: "You got no right to say that to me."
Bobby: "You're still John's boy."
A: "John Winchester was some guy who took me to a baseball game once a year. I don't have a dad. We may be blood, but we are not family. My mom is my family and if I do my job, I get to see her again. She's the one I give a rat's ass about. Not you."
Huh. Interesting yet again. In another time, Adam and Dean could really bond. Dean looks down with a half-grin of grudging respect on his face. 'Cause he just heard his own heart with different words.
Sam tries again, begging for more time. And I really like the way he says, "Please." He spits the word out of him, like he's trying to say it and swallow it at the same time.
Adam agrees and next thing you know, he's eating a…mystery sandwich in the kitchen, notices that Bobby turns away, and tries to sneak out only to be caught by Sam. He correctly assumes that the "dewy-eyed bro-mance" was just another ploy for "lockdown" and Sam and Adam have themselves a chat. Honestly? Until this moment? I was trying to figure out how I wanted them to kill him off.
Sam: "Dad was trying to protect you."
Adam: "Guess the monster that ate me didn't get that memo."
Ewww…he remembers that. How horrible. Just... ack. As they continue to talk, I found myself wanting to flick Sam in the forehead.
Sam: "Only thing worse than seeing {John} once a year was seeing him all year."
Really, Sam? After all you've been through, all you've learned, all you've seen…after telling your father in his youthful form that you forgive him…after knowing what you know of how your brother lived…that's what you pick to go with for a bonding ice-breaker? *shakes head*
Adam calls bullshit and says he would have taken anything. It was just him and his mom, and he would have taken anything of his father. This humbles Sam a bit, as well it should. John won't win any 'father of the year' awards, but anyone who has a child knows that's an achievement very few can claim. It's tough being a parent. You screw up every day. Some days worse than others. And no matter how hard you want this moment to be different from any moment you experienced yourself as a child, you end up repeating things you swore you'd never do.
But if you love your kids…if you work your ass off loving them…then you make it through. And John loved those boys. And he had it a little tougher than most, what with the monsters out to get them.
Sam says that if they had known about Adam, they would have found him. But now that he's here, everything's gonna be different.
A: "What? We gonna hop in the family truckster? Pop on down to Wally World?"
Okay, that was a little funny. He made me grin. Mostly…'cause he reminded me a lot of Dean.
Sam tells him that with an attitude like that…he'd fit right in. Made me feel a bit sorry for Sam; he'd really enjoyed being a big brother for awhile, teaching GoulAdam how to shoot and the ways of a hunter. *rubs heart*
Dean, meanwhile, is wearing a hole in the panic room floor. Sam opens the door and he and Cas stare in at Dean.
Dean: "Cas, not for nothing, but he last person who looked at me like that…I got laid."
He winks at Cas. BWAH! Okay, so it pissed Cas off even more, but that wink? Was freakin' adorable. *sighs*
Dean wants to know if the panic room is really necessary, but Sam tiredly says they have their hands full with a houseful of flight risks. I really feel for Sam in this moment—but it occurred to me that he was so busy keeping his bros from becoming angel hosts that he didn't have time to worry about becoming Lucifer. Hmmm…
Dean says he's not going to let Adam do it; Sam replies that he's not going to let either of them do it. Dean sits down slowly, as if he weighs a thousand pounds and I was acutely reminded of the moment in Croatoan when he wouldn't leave a blood-infected Sam. "I'm tired, man. I'm tired of this life…this weight on my shoulders…" *rubs heart again*
They have the world's softest argument, their words swinging like slow-motion blows. Dean asks Sam to think about how many people he's gotten killed: Mom, Dad, Jess, Jo, Ellen…
Sam: "It's not like we pulled the trigger."
Dean: "We may as well have."
Dean is tired of fighting who he's supposed to be. They've worn him down. He's giving in. No one else has to die because he's stubbornly fighting against the inevitable.
Sam: "Can you take half a second and stop trying to sacrifice yourself? Maybe we could actually stick together?"
Aw, Sam. God, what a tough position for him—to be yet again faced by a brother who is willing to die to save him. And others, too, but also him. He didn't have a choice before—he was dead, he couldn't stop him. But this time he can. He can try, at least.
Dean: "Don't think so."
Sam: "Why? I really want to know."
Me too.
Dean: "Because I don't believe…in you."
OUCH. It wasn't said maliciously. It was just honest, and his eyes looked weary as he said it. His whole being looked weary. Demon blood, demon chick…sooner or later, Dean's sure they're going to find a way to turn Sam. And while it hurt to hear him say that, I couldn't blame him. Dean may have given in to baser instincts—whiskey, women, fast cars—but he's spent his life resisting evil.
Even if he did 'forgive' Sam for succumbing to Ruby's temptation, even if he takes on equal share of the blame for the apocalypse, he's still worried. Because Sam gave all the way in. He beat Dean to a pulp to go with Ruby. His eyes went black. He was all the way there. That's scary to know and hard to trust that it couldn't/wouldn't happen again. And then when Famine came, Sam wasn't able to resist the hunger for blood. Sure, he used his powers to eliminate the Demon Secret Service, but…I don't blame Dean for doubting.
Sam's tears hurt my heart, because it's the last thing you ever want to hear. That your hero doesn't have faith in you, when all you can do is hang on to your faith in him. But Dean saying that it isn't that Sam isn't strong enough—it's that he's angry…he's self righteous…and that it was only a matter of time felt honest. Painful, but honest.
Sam: "Don't say that to me…you of all people." *tears*
Dean: "I don't want to." *voice breaks, but jaw tightens* "But it's the truth. And when Satan takes you over, there's gotta be someone there to fight you and I can't be some kid." *looks away* "So it's gotta be me."
Okay! I surrender! I am waving my flag. At this point I just wanted them to do it and get it over with. One more edge and I was going to tip over. Sam leaves and heads back up top. Bobby asks how Dean is, and Sam can only frown. Softly, Bobby asks how Sam is, and his eyes reflect the pain his brother's words dug up. *sniff* Cas heads down to the panic room—presumably to talk some sense into Dean—but Dean tricks him and uses the Angel Banishing Symbol to send Cas away.
He sneaks out, grabs one coat and discards it, then grabs another and exits through the storm cellar door.
Adam is sleeping (and dude, seriously, the kid sleeps like the dead) and Sam hurries in saying that Cas has been "blown to Oz" and Dean is gone. He tells Bobby to watch Adam.
B: "How? You may have noticed he's got a slight height advantage."
Heh. Oh, Bobby. Don't ever change, man.
Adam, meanwhile, is dreaming. Zach, of course, finds him and fills him with confusion. They're at the park Adam's mom used to take him on her days off. Zach dangles his mom like the proverbial carrot, practically sing-songing, "Do want I want and you can seeee heerrrrr…"
He says the Winchesters are psychotically, irrationally, neurotically co-dependent and can't be trusted. But…Adam has doubts. Zach says that the brothers would rather save each other than the planet. What he doesn't realize is that that's the whole point. By saving each other? They DO save the planet. They save the whole reason why the planet is WORTH saving in the first place.
Angels. Bah.
Outside somewhere, we have a street preacher spouting that it's the End of Days. The angels have told him, etc., etc. Dean walks up—totally looking like 2014Dean in the borrowed jacket. Seriously. Toe. Curl.
Dean: "I'm Dean Winchester. Do you know who I am?"
Preacher: "Dear God."
Dean: "I'll take that as a yes."
Dean tells the preacher to pray and tell the angels he's there. Cas shows up, does the whole Vulcan sleep grip on the preacher saying he prays too loud and then proceeds to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF DEAN. Seriously, he goes all out. Dean doesn't even have chance to block a punch or return a blow. He's bleeding and weak and staggering.
Cas: "I rebelled so that you could surrender to THEM?!"
Oh, Cas. Seriously, at this point, I had my hand over my mouth.
Dean gasps a broken, "Cas….please." It cannot be easy getting wailed on by an Angel of the Lord.
Cas: "I gave up everything for you and this is what you give to me?!"
Cas kicks him—wicked hard—and sends him sailing back into a chain link fence. Dean is down, bleeding, beaten, and looks up weakly. Cas stands over him, fist clenched in fury.
Voice shaking, Dean demands that he, "Just DO IT." Kill him. Deliver the ending blow. Take this all away from him. Please. Let it end. Let there be an end.
But of course, there's no such mercy. Cas relaxes his fist, then puts Dean to sleep with a touch. Back at Bobby's, Sam is freaking out. Adam's gone. One minute he was there, the next, nothing. Cas shows up, Dean slumped in his arms, face bloody, and says that angels took him.
Sam gapes at his brother. "What the hell happened to him?"
Cas: "Me."
He drops Dean on Bobby's make-shift bed and says that Adam had to tip the angels off in a dream, then realizes where he went: Heaven's Green Room. And tiger/strips analogy plays out once more as Adam sits in the Green Room noshing on burgers and beer—ala Dean—and asks Zach if they're ready. Y'know, for Michael.
Zach: "Yeah…about that…"
I KNEW IT!! I knew that slimy bastard was just using Adam as a ploy. A way to get Dean over the edge to say yes. Okay, that? I could handle. Using him as a ploy, as bait, worked for me because it was ultimately still about our boys and their fight. If Adam had been a plausible vessel it would have made this whole year a pointless struggle through heartbreak and exhaustion. And I'm talking about my own!
Zach's all smug about having to 'terminate' Adam's position and that he's not the chosen one so much as bait.
Z: "The Winchester's have one blind spot: family. Sam and Dean will put aside their differences and come get you and that's gonna put Dean riiiiight here."
Poor Adam. He tears up declaring, "I'm not gonna let you do this." And then he starts to throw up blood. Whoops.
Dean wakes handcuffed to the bed in the panic room. "Word to the wise," he groans to Sam, "don't piss off the nerd angels."
Sam tells him that Adam's gone—the angels have him—and Dean's game face slides on seamlessly. Sam says he knows Adam's in the Heavenly Green Room, but that's guarded heavily. Pretty much a no shot in hell, Hail Mary sort of thing. As usual.
Dean wants to know what he's gonna do and Sam says he's taking Dean with him. Cas and Bobby don't think it's a good idea, but Sam doesn't agree. While Dean does a very good impression of a five-year-old, saying, "I'll say yes! I'll do it! I will!" I couldn't help but cheer inside.
This is what I was talking about. When Dean dropped that amulet in the trash, he was begging someone to SHOW HIM they had faith in him. SHOW HIM he could do this. Not tell him they couldn't do it without him. Not expect him to "do the right thing" because that's just what he does. Not expect him to resist because they promised him they wouldn't give up or because they gave up everything for him. Not put their burden on him.
But SHOW HIM that he was enough. Just because of who he was.
Sam: "No you won't. When push shoves, you'll make the right call."
Dean: "If tables were turned, I'd let you rot in here. Hell, I have let you rot in here."
Sam: "Yeah, well, I guess I'm not that smart."
Dean: "I don't get it. Why are you doing this?"
Sam: "'Cause you're still my big brother."
Gaelic: WHAAAAA!!! Okay! Group Hug! Seriously, boys, I'm completely verklempt.
Okay, I have no idea how to spell the city they were in in CA, so feel free to point and laugh and correct me. Venice, CA? VANnice? Apparently the Beautiful Room, as Dean called it, was in an abandoned warehouse in CA, not, as he'd wondered, on Jupiter or a blade of grass. Hee. He makes me laugh. Cas has to go in first and take out five angels. Which…um, yeah. Suicide mission much?
Cas: "Maybe, but then I won't have to watch you fail. Sorry, Dean. I don't have the same faith in you that Sam does."
That's okay, actually. Because Sam's the one that counts. Sam's always been the one that counted when it comes to Dean doing his job, feeling his worth, surviving just one more day.
Cas pulls out a box top opener, grimacing.
Sam: "What the hell are you gonna do with that?"
Oh, boy. *watches through fingers*
Cas goes in and there's a building w/in the building that looks like it might've maybe been and office? Dunno. They really get their money's worth out of sets, though, because I think this was the same warehouse where they trapped Gabriel in the burning ring of fire. Not same location, just same set. He quickly takes out Angel Henchman #1 leaving two of the shiny swords on the ground. Four more Angel Henchmen surround him and Cas challenges them to charge, which they do. But not before he rips open his shirt and exposes that angel banishing symbol CARVED INTO HIS CHEST.
OUCH. He touches it and banishes them all—including himself. Oh, boy. Well, he's been banished a time or two before. I doubt he's dead. I imagine he's probably worse for the wear, but I'm confident we'll be seeing our favorite Holy Tax Accountant again before all is said and done.
Dean goes in alone, enters the Beautiful Room, sees Adam on the floor, bleeding, and makes a beeline to him. Adam's surprised he came, but Dean's like, "we're family." It's a trap, though. Which Dean figured. They start for the door and Zach shows up.
Z: "Did you really think it would be that easy?"
D: "Did you?"
Sam lunges with one of the shiny angel swords at Zach's back, but Zach flicks him across the room, crashing him hard against the wall. Dean calls out Sam's name, but is still holding Adam. Zach yammers a bit about patients and suddenly Adam is throwing up blood again, falling to the floor. Dean demands he let them go, but Zach is too busy talking about how he should have trusted the boss-man (Michael, I assume) and that it's all working out like he said.
Zach: "You, me, your hemorrhaging brothers…"
Dean looks over at Sam, horrified, as Sam doubles over in pain, coughing up blood. Dean's eyes go wide, almost luminous with fear, pain, and helpless rage. Sam's curled on the floor, gasping, coughing up blood. Adam's curled up at his feet in the same condition. And Dean stands there, practically trembling from the need to fix this.
His face fisted in unspoken pain, he demands Zach stop it right now. "Please! I'll do it!"
Sam looks at Dean, gasping Dean's name in denial.
Dean: "Call Michael down, you bastard!"
Zach: "How do I know you're not lying?"
Dean: "Do I look like I'm lying?"
Zach starts to chant something and Dean looks down at Adam, the tight, pained expression on his face deepening. He looks over at Sam, who is weakening, his face screaming the "NOOO!" that his voice lacks the strength for. His eyes beg Dean to take it back. And the look on Dean's face as he stares at his brother breaks my heart. So much pain and loss and regret…and then….
Subtle, almost imperceptibly, something shifts in Dean's eyes. There's a sudden light there and the lines at the corners smooth out. His brow relaxes, and his lips tip up.
And he winks at Sam.
That was my heart falling out of my chest. I love this character beyond what is probably healthy. That moment is cemented in my top five favorites in the five years of the show. AWESOME!!
Zach's busy calling down Michael and Dean interrupts.
D: "Of course, I have a few conditions. People whose safety you have to guarantee…but most of all, Michael can't have me until he disintegrates you."
Zach's all, "I'm sorry, what?"
Dean: "Before Michael gets one piece of this sweet ass, he has to turn you into charcoal."
Zach gets up in Dean's face, gripping his shirt, all, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! "Michael's not going to kill me."
Dean: "Maybe not. But I am."
WHAMMOO!! Out comes the 2nd silver sword thingy that Cas left behind when he bamphed out of there. Dean thrusts it through Zach's jaw up into his head and the blinding white light illuminates everything—turning Dean's eyes silver for a moment—and Zach falls dead, the ashes of his wings spread out on either side of him.
YESSSS!!!! *does happy dance*
ETA: I have to put this in here as I was reminded below by erinrua that up until now we've been told that only angels can kill angels. I registered that when watching but failed to capture it accurately while rambling. This. Is. Big. Not sure how big or why big, but it's BIG. *squeeee*
Meanwhile, Michael is still on his way down, so Dean helps Adam to his feet, determines he can walk, then goes to Sam, lifting him up and half-carrying him out of the room, calling over his shoulder to Adam to hurry…only Adam gets trapped inside. And Michael descends. All we see is blinding white light beaming from every crack in the room. Dean sets Sam down and tries to go back for Adam, but he can't get the door open.
Then the light is gone. Dean opens the door and it's just an abandoned office. No Adam.
Later, in some truck they apparently stole (since Cas beamed them to VanSomething, CA), Dean's driving. Sam wants to know if he thinks Adam's okay, but Dean doubts it. Cas either. "But we'll get them," he says. With utter and complete confidence. With his old voice. The voice infused with the strength that got him this far.
Sam: "I saw your eyes. You were totally rocking the 'yes' back there. What changed your mind?"
Dean: "Damndest thing. World's coming down on us. I look over at you, and all I can think is, 'that stupid son of a bitch brought me here.' I didn't want to let you down."
Sam: "You didn't."
Dean: "I owe you an apology. Maybe it's part of being a big brother…but to me, you've always been this kid I've had to keep on the straight and narrow. If you've grown up enough to find faith in me, at least I can return the favor."
Sam's grin is buoyant.
Dean continues: "Screw destingy. I say we take the fight to them. Do it our way."
Sam's grin widens. "Sounds good."
The music is appropriately rocking—not a classic rock song, but heroic and very "into the fray."
It's hard to recognize the moment when the person you've been raising actually becomes the person you raised. It's hard to let go. But the moment you do, you realize you're not really losing anything except the weight of obligation. You're actually gaining a friend and keeping a partner.
I know Cas will be back. I mean, I don't know know it. But I know it. His faith must also be restored for this story to truly come full circle. His faith in God, in himself, and…in Dean.
I don't really care if Adam's gone or if he comes back down the road. They gave him enough of a tough personality that he won me over in the end—and he realized that the boys were his family. Not just blood. If they bring him back, I hope it's not to rub John's name in the mud again. We get it. He screwed up. But he also managed to raise some pretty amazing men. Somehow. Chuck survived contact with an arch angel—but he was a prophet. Maybe the fact that Adam was literally Phoenixed back to life will aid in his survival. Maybe he's another casualty of this war. I don't actually care either way in this moment. He served his purpose: he was the catalyst that got Dean back in the fight.
Really in the fight. Not just going through the motions. Not just desperately asking, "Are you with me?" Not moving forward because he doesn't know how to quit. But believing that his brother, whom he spent his life watching out for, actually has faith in him. That he's worthy of Sam's faith.
I haven't felt this good at the end of an episode in months. We've got four episodes left and a lot of ground to cover. They may be united; they may have passed this test; but I'm not sure we're out of the woods quite yet. We have some weary, battered warriors on Team Free Will. And they've gotta keep their strength up if we're going to end this fight this season. There's still another horseman yet to come…and we haven't actually seen DEATH yet.
But now we have our boys standing side by side, looking in the same direction. *rubs hands*
Wait…what is that? Do you feel that, too? Is that…dare I say it…hope?

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Republican lawmaker from rural Missouri is calling for a sales tax on violent video games in response to a deadly Connecticut school shooting.
Rep. Diane Franklin, of Camdenton, said Tuesday that the 1 percent sales tax would finance mental health programs and law enforcement measures to curb mass shootings.
The tax would be charged on video games rated teen, mature, and adult only by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
Franklin's proposal is the latest in a string of measures in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 students and six adults. Another Missouri Republican has filed a measure allowing teachers to carry guns in the classroom.
Similar legislation to tax violent video games failed in Oklahoma and New Mexico in recent years.

Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
Smashed is quietly affecting, though sometimes difficult to sit through. The saving grace is Winstead's smashing performance.
Read Full Review
This is a serious movie about drinking but not a depressing one. You notice that in the way it handles Charlie (Aaron Paul), Kate's husband. He is also her drinking buddy. When two alcoholics are married, they value each other's company because they know they can expect forgiveness and understanding, while a civilian might not choose to share their typical days.
Its sharp writing and essential credibility make this small, intimate tale fresh and involving.
What's new about the unsensationalized portrait of one-day-at-a-time progress (and setbacks) is the low-key energy of this drunks' tale, by and for a generation with a high tolerance for humor and a low tolerance for soapiness.
See all Smashed reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 16+
Intense alcoholism study shows difficulties of recovery.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Smashed is a gritty drama about a woman who's an alcoholic and tries to stop drinking. (Her husband is also a heavy drinker, and he doesn't stop.) Though the main character's alcoholism is really only shown during the movie's first third, it's intense, and the horrifying side effects of her drinking start to outweigh whatever fun she's having. She also smokes crack in one scene. Language is the movie's other big issue, with several uses of "f--k," "s--t," and "bitch." There's no physical violence but expect lots of shouting and arguing; there's no nudity, but viewers see a married couple kissing and initiating sex with one another. There's also a failed attempt at sex. Overall, this is a well-made cautionary tale with hope as well as harshness, and it could be a good way for teens to learn empathy for people facing addiction.
Messages: Smashed has the complicated, difficult message that if an alcoholic quits drinking, the rest of his or her life might not automatically be improved. In fact, things could get worse. But the main character continues to struggle and look forward, in spite of much misfortune.
Role models: The main character is a chronic alcoholic. She struggles to overcome this addiction and sometimes stumbles in the midst of continuing obstacles and misfortune. She tries to correct her past behavior, including admitting a lie, though it costs her a job. She could provide an opportunity for teens to learn about the struggles and hardships of alcoholism, and she could provide a character to empathize with.
Violence: Characters fight and shout at one another, but no hitting or physical violence is shown.
Sex: No nudity is shown, but a married couple is shown kissing and initiating sex with each other. One attempt at sex is thwarted because a drunken lover keeps falling asleep. In a brutal scene, a violently drunk woman tries to initiate sex with her husband.
Language: Strong language throughout, including many uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "a--hole," "ass," "bitch," "damn," and "oh my God."
Consumerism: McDonald's is shown and mentioned. The main character explains how, when they were poor, her mother used to stock up on McDonald's hamburgers and freeze them. Later, viewers see that the mother still does this; she thaws out a plate of burgers to serve to guests.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Chronic alcoholism is the movie's main subject. The main character drives drunk, gets violently angry with others, passes out and wakes up in strange places, urinates in her bed and on the floor, and throws up in front of a classroom full of children. She drinks upon waking up in the morning and hunts for last sips of alcohol in a table full of empty bottles. She's shown to be unable to stop drinking once she starts. In one scene, another woman goads her into smoking crack. At about the one-third point, the character realizes she has a problem and starts attending AA meetings. She falls off the wagon once.

To celebrate the first anniversary in its new location, Augie's Diner has partnered with LaSalle Pride Inc. on a display of historic photos of LaSalle.
The exhibit will officially open on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 8207 Niagara Falls Blvd., on the west end of Pine Plaza. The diner will also offer special discounts. There will be a drawing for a free 2014 Historic Legacy Calendar produced by LaSalle Pride.
Augie's Diner, which was founded by Charles Augustino, opened in April of 2004 on Military Road in the Town of Niagara. Since his death, the diner has been managed by his wife, Linda Bruno Augustino, and daughter, Jill Augustino Golkin.
Thirty old photos on display include motels, schools, theaters, Griffon Manor, the LaSalle Library, aerial views of Pine and Mil-Pine Plaza, old maps and other old buildings.
